Flat or common warts on penis

by NickStCloud, Jan 03, 2008 06:47AM
I'll begin by pointing out that, after browsing a few forum posts on this site, I noticed a response from a Doctor Rockoff:

  "You don't need to worry about spreading them from hand top genital, or anywhere else for that matter.  If you could do that, you'd have them all over, but for some reason warts don;t behave that way.  Popping the blister is no problem either.  We generally don't attack warts surgically, because there's a greater chance of permanent scarring that way, and because warts are a virus, they often come back anyway.  By the way, that's especially true of flat warts--if they keep coming back after freezing, I just advise people to wait them out, since they always go away on their own eventually.
Take care."
Dr. Rockoff }

Its concerning spreading warts from your hands, called common warts or flat warts, to your genital area, specifiically in this case, the penis.  He states this cannot happen.  He is wrong.  Its unlikely, but happens, as I've been diagnosed with a flat wart on the head, or glans, of my penis.  Its located on the underside directly on the redish "ring" that forms from circumcision.  The infected area is pea sized, and goes below this ring.  In other words, tissue on the shaft get infected; the glans tissue  that was not affected from circumcision does not. So the wart sits directly on the "circumcision ring" and tissue on the shaft, not actually on the glans at all.

I wanted to clear that up because I don't want a response saying its not possible, because it is (diagnosed from my MD, by the way).

My question is, what is the best way to get rid of the d*mn thing?  My doctor says he'll freeze it off, but doesn't want to do it.  He says I risk permenant scarring and possible healthy tissue damage which could, possible, lead to other "perfromance" and "function" issues.  He says to let it go away naturally, but I want it gone now, as its been 9 months and this thing isn't gone yet.

If I get a referall to urologist, what procedure(s) should I be prepared to discuss w/ him/her when we attempt to come up with the best treatment option for such an ailment?

Thanks for any help.

How about lasering off warts?Watched Dr. on 90210 surgery show laser off hpv warts on Mike's penis who bragged about all the sexual partners he'd had and no condom use.Appeared quick and relatively painless...area numbed with anesthetic first.

Lol. Its gone now. I was actually using over the counter bandages that have a medicated disc w/ 40% salicylic acid for about a week before I wrote the original post. They didn't seem to be doing much but softening the outer surface of the wart, so I wrote the post looking for a new option.

The bandages are intended for common warts, but the directions say not to use on the genital area or for genital warts, but I did it anyway.  Unbelievably, this wart that had plagued me for the past 9 months couldn't deal with just a couple weeks of nonstop treatment with these bandages.  Practically painless, no scarring, just my blemish-free beautiful penis back to normal again.
